[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1524116, member: 99519"] Have worked at a taxidermy shop and watched while the owner wormed o Dr all kinds of critters from Alaska to south Africa....the toughest critters with hair to get things to work and look correct....a cougar.... Something about the eyes and the mouth.....cats squint a lot...so making the eyes look correct is way different than a deer family critter...and then since they have short fine hair around the lips..if they are stretched too much while mounting your cat will have a SMILE when it dries.... Several African animals don't have enough hair to hide imperfections..scars, bullet holes, rat chew spots from the trip back.... I did fish....i could hide some open wounds if the skin was still there(see it back together)...i couldn't hide my painting...if it looked like crap i stripped it all off and started again.....simple little job...could turn into 60 hours of work..........but I enjoyed it....
